Why we stopped working together – a personal podcast with my husband and ex-business partner

We built a startup called Linguatrip, got into 500 Startups, moved to Silicon Valley and scaled from 5 to 60 people in 6 months - all as a couple. Some investors saw this as a red flag. In 2019, we made the decision to stop working together. In this episode, we finally share why.
